If rates go over 5% for any stretch of time, sell sell sellI am a very skilled spec builder so my experiences personally have had enhanced opportunities.

I do not have a general contractor yet so I am not quite sure how much to expect as far as the remodel work goes as there are some significant changes I am making, adding sq. ft moving kitchen, bathrooms, exterior walls, removing interior walls, new roof plan etc. in addition to the usual new texture, flooring, paint job etc.Unless the preliminary plan is done, there is no way general contractors can bid on it but at the same time this being my first rodeo I have no clue how much to expect in this circumstances.

There will be some light patching and texture matching.
